Chapter 5: A Surprise indeed

            "How come you never told me about you having a client in my grade?" Wyatt asked his aunt as they pulled up to the apartments.

            "I don't know, it must have slipped my mind."

            "Sure, it slipped your mind, like those pop quizzes you gave when I was in magic school."  Paige grinned at her nephew.  B9, B10, B11, C1, and C2.  "Alright, here we are."  Just as Paige was going to knock on Lor's door, the two Halliwells heard a big explosion from inside and a feminine shriek.  Paige and Wyatt shot each other glances, Paige tried the door to only find it locked.  Then both half-whitelighters immediately orbed inside.  Within the room, Wyatt saw nothing but smoke and he was standing on something soft and squishy.

            "Aunt Paige!" Wyatt called out.

            "Wyatt?!?" came a startled response.

            "Lorae?" came Paige's voice somewhere in the smoke.  Green and yellow lights shimmered in Wyatt's vision and the smoke cleared instantly.  He looked around o see that he was standing on a loveseat coach, Paige standing to his right and his classmate sitting on the floor in front of him and a few meters away was a small but smoking cauldron. 

            "Uh…guys…you're early." Lor smiled tentatively.  Paige opened and closed her mouth several times before Wyatt broke the silence.

            "You can do magic!"

            "Um…well…why don't you sit and I'll explain."  Wyatt and Paige slowly sat down not looking away from Lor.  "Okay, let's see.  Um…first, I am not a witch, but not a demon either," Lor added the 'not demon' part quickly seeing Paige stiffen.  "I am a sorceress.  It's kind of like a mix between a witch and demon.  You see my powers work both for good or bad.  My powers are somewhat 'demonic', I can call an energy ball."  Lor held up a hand and a small yellow light with green orbs swirling around it formed.  "I can transport myself by orbbing and shimmering at the same time."  She demonstrated.  Green and yellow lights twirled around her and she slowly disappeared from sight and reappeared behind them in the doorway leading to her bedroom.  "I like to call it orbbing because shimmering seems too demonic.  Oh, I can also do spells and potions…sort of."  Lor winced as she said the last part and glanced at the ruined potion in her cauldron.  She then looked at the two sitting on her coach praying they understood.

            "Well…well…I guess all I can say is that you used too much holly root in your potion," Paige said smiling slightly.  Lor shot a surprised and very delighted look.  "The only thing is, why didn't you tell me in the first place?"

            "I did want to tell you, but explaining that you're a magical being is kind of hard even to a Charmed One."  Lor sighed feeling a slight relief, but than glance at Wyatt who still sat in bewilderment.  "Wyatt?"

            "And I was worried what to do if a demon showed up and was after me," Wyatt looked at Lor and smiled, "This is great, now I don't just have my brother to talk to about magic."   Lor smiled broadly feeling really relieved that she was no longer living in a secret. 

            "Ahem."  All three jumped at the loud noise.  Lor whirled around to face her sister embarrassed.

            "Oh, yeah, this is my sister, Kayla.  As you can see she's not really…alive." 

            "Thanks ever so, Lor.  Paige and Wyatt Halliwell, it is a pleasure to have finally meet you."

            "And us you, We have only heard a little about sorceresses, maybe swapping some magic secrets is in order."

            "That we can do."  The four magic beings laughed and settled down for a more relaxed evening.
